2018 Citroen C4 Cactus 1.2L Petrol · S4 XCB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history shows a minor trend of recurring hardware failures. The most recent test on 17 June 2026 at 39,590 miles identified a defective front exhaust mounting and an insecure offside headlamp. These specific issues mirrored the results from the June 2025 test at 36,504 miles, indicating that the previous owner either did not fully rectify the mounting or the component failed again shortly after the inspection. The car reflects exceptionally low mileage for its eight-year age, averaging approximately 4,950 miles per year. With 39,590 recorded miles, the usage pattern suggests minimal mechanical strain on the drivetrain and engine components compared to the national average. The progression of mileage is consistent, with roughly 2,700 to 3,000 miles covered between annual tests from 2022 through 2026. However, low annual mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber components and dry seals, which aligns with the mounting failures seen later in the record. A buyer should personally inspect the exhaust system thoroughly to ensure the mounting brackets have been replaced and not merely welded back together, as the history shows a recurring failure across a weld. The offside headlamp housing also requires a check for secure seating to prevent vibration or failure. Given the 2022 advisory regarding uneven tyre wear and a nail in the sidewall, the current tyres should be inspected for age-related cracking or uneven deformation, as low-mileage vehicles often sit stationary for long periods.
